Graham Jones pointed me toward this: Google has acquired JotSpot.

JotSpot allows you to get other people to create your website content. If you change the word “website” for “user manuals”, then it could be an interesting tool for a technical author.

JotSpot’s wiki allows you to create rich web-based spreadsheets, calendars, documents and photo galleries.

According to PC World magazine, “Visitors and customers of eBay use JotSpot technology to share articles on topics such as the Web site’s policies, selling tools, and specialty sites.” (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127718-pg,1-RSS,RSS/article.html)
